: Written for the National Banner. VISIT TO MY GRANDM(;T![ER’ﬁ GRAVE-SEPT. 1872, BY J. E. SILSBY. - ‘ 1 —— i The twiliJht was bathing the willow-girt mound, And the quiet of evening was hoveris g around; The linnet was gone to her viﬁ'é-circled nest, And vesper was smiling in love from the west. The Oswego river’s blue wave was flowing along, And the free}l, verdant bank giving ear todits song; And the silvery light of the pale-stricken moon Threw a charm g'er the lawn and the flowery festoon. : The loved and the lost were reposing there, By the marblethat stood like a form in prayer; The violet clusters were bereft of their bloom As I kneeled on th&swnrd o’er my Grandmother’s . tomb, . . The night’s silent ether, with responsive sighs, Carried upward my prayers, to the echoing skies; My spirit communed with the scenes of the past And its x_nysticnl shadows came over me fast. I thoyght how the light of her love-speaking eyes [Lit the path of my youth, like the radiant skies; How the lips, new all palsied in death’s purple ~ochill, : Left the sweet word of selace, which echoeth still. That loved one who moved in the circles of home Hath passed up to God,where my thoughts love to _roam, : And eternity’s choir doth covet, I know, ' That music which made all my pleasure below. : 0, Grandmother - - dear Grandmother! I loyeto . kneel by : Thy willow-girt grave and feel thou art nigh; And I love to remember thy counsels and prayers, And to feel that thy love is a balm for my cares. "I would not, dear Grandmother, thy rapture repress, o s Nor sadden the spirit which Jesus doth bless; But I'd walk in the pathwax thine own fect have : - trod. ‘ And lay me to rest in the bosom of God. | | Kendallville, October3,lB72. =

JILLINOIS CORRESPONDENCE. | OAX GROVE, ILL., Sept. 28,74, To the Editor of the National Banner: . Since our last writing we have seen many things which were new to us, and we purpose to relate to the: readers of the BANNER something of what we have seen. You will remiember our destination was the city of Bloomington, a very stirring, enterprising ;place of about 21,000 inhabitants. The general character of the city goes to show that its inhabitants are a well-behaved, intelligent class of citizens, giving due atteixtion to education and priding themselves in substituting good schools for their children instead of supporting drinking saloons and other fast places for young men. They do have saloons, but t’hey'are properly restaurants, as they keep all the requisites necessary for such an establishment. ,Speaking'of schools, we must mention something about Normal, a small village near Bloomington, in which is located the Illinois Normal Univergity. The building is a very large, brick structure and is well arranged to suit the convenience, of the students. The lot surrounding’ the building, which contains about ten acres, is nicely filled with shady maples and everything looks neat and attractive. The large clock in the steeple ticks away, telling the school the hourof the day by its §tl'pl<es which are loud enough to-be heard all over the village. The enrollment, including the primary department which is a new feature, numbers 720 students. The educational facilities are beyond doubt very good. Teacher’s wages are from $35 to $65 per month, gwithout boarding. Schools are mostly taken up, and many have been for'some time. -

We spent one day at the McLean county Fair, where we were greatly entertained. Stock seemed to be the leading feature there and the display of horses, cattle, sheep and hogs was great. The Norman horse (imported) took the first premium for draft. There were, I think, fifty Norman stallions upon the grounds hnd a number of mares and colts. One yearling horse colt-weighed 1,500 pounds. [Who can beat that?- The heaviest horse there w‘eig]he‘d 2,175. Noble county must stamp improvement on the wings of time or be:left in the shade by her sister counties, and if so there is no need of it. -~ No quarreling, base balling or gambling was allowed upon the grounds. The floral department was well represented. Musie, ete., was also good. ; g Corn here is considered a poor crop. Fruit prospects are ordinary, plenty for home consumption but none to ship. Grapes are plenty, from three to five cents per pound. The average yield of fall wheat was estimated -at about eight bushels per acre, and the spring wheat, which is mostly grown, yielded.about twelve bushels to the acre. . .

If Hawpatch could send us asupply of water, we would receive it thankfully. Since it is so scarce here cistern water is the go, and we can’t stomach “sich drinking.” ‘Health is not very good generally. Typhoid fever and cholera morbus are prevalent here. Ourself were morbus like, but convalescent again. A.J. The Eouisiana Compromise. The conference between the rival parties at New Orleans has resulted in an adjustment wholly in favor of the Republicans, as may have been expected. The advisory committee is to be composed of five members, of which two are Democrats and two Republicans, while the fifth is 4 — Republican, of course. The functions of the committee are important. It has charge of the election arrangements and has the appointment of the election officers. The two vacancies in the returning board are to be supplied by Democrats, but this still leaves the Kellogg party a majority of one. As this board has an absolute control of the election returns, it is a little hard to believe that anything has been gained by the new arrangement. A small majority in such a case is as effective as a larger one. It may be possible, gnd this is all we can hope for, that public opinion ywm compel some approach to honesty in the future elections in that State.

CLEVELAND CORRESPONDENCE.

- DEAR BANNER:—I have just about aminute of spare time, so will improve it by taking a little chat with the BaxNER. The long days which were al‘most unendurable, by the extreme dry weather, have given place to cool, delightful nights and beautiful days, owing, no doubt, to the Fair. For who ever knew of a Fair being held unless it rained? I never did to my remembrance. The N. O. Fair began Sept. 14th; the opening was grand, and if “Probabilities” would have only kept the rain off a few days longel',; the Fair would have come to a triumphant close last week; as it was, “the directors, not to be out-done by the weather, postponed the closing up until Tuesday of this week. Well, I'll tell you something about the Fair, but not very much, as I have not enough spare time to enumerate half there was to be seen or heard. Tuesday, really “the first day, it rziined, but crowds of people were there and, with tHe exception of the races, the day was a successful one. Wednesday it neither rained, sprinkled nor poured, but the most aggravating, tantalizing mist of a drizzle it was ever my misfortune to encounter. But wehada good time, . because we had friends from Ligonier with us, and we were bound to see the Fair. So we went through Floral Hall, an immense building with two wings, and here was the grandest display of flowers I ever saw. Mr. James Vick, of N, Y., had on exhibition seventyfive varieties of gladiolas, thirty of asters, fifteen of coxcombs, twenty-five of phlox-drummondi, one diundred of dahlias, sixteen of ten-weeks stock, three oflilies, eight of perennial-pholx, twenty of double zinneas, and a number of iritomas, besides many ornamental grasses and “everlastings.”— Mr. Geo. Bisbee, Chester Cross Roads, had about two hundred varieties of dahlias on exhibition. Table decorations were showrn in almost every deslgn, and were perfectly exquisite.— There were shrubs of every kind and every clime, almost, and one might spend an entire day in this hall and then not see half there was to be seen. Domestic Hall was filled to the brim with a little of everything, all kinds of domestic industry represented here.— But Power Hall was the great attraction; here all kinds of machinery is run by one enormous eighty-horse power engine.’ Tt is simply wonderful! Bands-are whirling in every direction upon all kinds of inventions. We noticed particularly a crusade invention, called a “Coffee Curruss;” it is an appendage to the fire department, and the firemen can have hot coffee while at work. Then there were planing mills to plane iron and steel. We have some steel shavings—just think of it, iron and steel shavings! And there were meat choppers, feed mills, planing mills, cider mills, and lots of things, I could not imagine what they were, all whirling and working like elock work at the same time. Fruit Hall was fairly represented, but it was almost too early in the season for some of our best fruit. We did not get a chance to “stick our fingers into the apple butter,” and if we had, we shouldn’t have dared to “wipe them on somebody’s coat,” for a policeman stood guard at every corner and between corners. Nevertheless there was a tempting show of jellies and canned fruit of every kind. Natural History, Stove Hall, Fine Art Hall and Car-* riage Hall were objects of interest.— - The Grangers were also represented. A great many Indians were there, with a grand display of bead-work.— Of course there were side shows, eat- | ing booths, &ec., &c., which made the grounds alive all the time. Of stock there was a splendid show of cattle, and some very fine horses. A pair of Scoteh draught horses were very much admired; one of them, two years old, weighs sixteen hundred pounds. A magniﬁcént French horse, coal black, was ‘the observed of all ‘observers in the grand pagade. Of course there were lots of hogs, big and little; though what folks want to take swine to the Fair for is more than I can guess. - The races were not very successful, owing to the rain, which kept the track in bad order. :

Ishould like very much to give a full description of our Fair Grounds, which are so beautifully laid out with elegant drives, beautiful shrubbery, mimic lakes, groves, deer parks, &c., but time and space forbid. Our city is fast taking the lead in suburban adornments, not the ledst of which is our Fair Grounds, which are at all times a delightful resort for private parties and pic-nics. A.R.E

JoHN B. GLOVER, the present republican Treasurer of State, in his monthly reports of the condition of the State shows that there was a surplus of funds in the State treasury, on the Ist of last July, of $474,798.64: on the Ist of August, $447,856.22, and . on September Ist, $403,296.78. Thef last radical legislature made a temporary loan of $710,000 upon which the State is paying interest. The Peru Sentinel very properly inquires: Why" should this immense sum lie in the treasury, idle, so far as the State is concerned, and the people be compelled to pay interest on this loan?— Where is this surplus and what is it doing? Can any of the banks answer? Has Mr. Glover got it at interest for his own private emolument? Such has been the practice of his radical predecessors, and the inference is irresistible that this sum is now bringing a bonus into the pocket of ‘the State treasurer and that the voters of Indiana are paying it. :

| ' CONDEMN THAT OUTRAGE. l The Indianapolis News in speaking of the redistricting of the State by the l last Legislature says: “While we are | fully disposed to concede to.the l;lst | Legislature all the credit that is due | to it, and there is a good deal, it must [il()t be forgotten that the republican majority perpetrated one of the most shameless’outrages by which a‘people was ever abused, in the apportionment of the State. They reconstructed the congressional and legislative districts in such a manner as to make a répdblican vote, worth mere than a democratic one. It was aboast among' some of the managers that even if the Democrats could carry the State by a ‘majority of twenty-five thousand votes it would be impossible for them to secure a majority in the Legislature. The bill wasl passed over the protestf of the bes} and purest members, and stands as the law to-day, a lasting disgrace to the party that made it and practically disfrancliising thousands of citizens. Such infamous gerrymandering has been common in this state. It has been practiced by both parties. But the climax of wrong was reached by the present law, and it is so unblushingly fraudulent and oppressive that it would require a vast quantity of good work to overbalance it. Itis the foulest blot upon the record of the republican party in this State, and there are a good many blots. Whichever party may have the majority in the coming Il.egislature, should, as its first act, destroy this apportionment and make a just and equitable one.” o . The way to express an emphatic disapproval of this infamous assault upon the people’s rights is to rebuke the party which perpetrated it,

- UprwARrDS of nine years ago the war of the rebellion ended at Appomattox. Since then the radical party have had uninterrupted possession of the gov“ernment, for during the Presidency of Andrew Johnson they had a twothirds majority in botli houses of ‘ Congress, which enabled them to over.ride the vetoes of the executive. But still there is no peace. Still the Southern States are not rehabilitated in the full and ample Statehood which belongs to them of right as much as to any other States in the Union. Not only has the radical party produced “anarchy in the South—‘organized hell, as Senator Doolittle strohgly but api)ropriately expréssed it in the Senate in a speech on the reconstruction acts —but financial distress, stagnation in business, paralyzed industries, and consequent loss of employment to the laboring classes, have resulted from the misrule which has characterized the administration of public affairs under its auspices. That party has bgen tried, fairly, thoroughly and patiently tried, by the people. .It has been weighed in the balances of public necessity and found wanting. Now let public opinion find an honest expression at the ballot-box and there will be an end of this miserable, corrupt, effete political organization, which in veteran worthlessness lags superfluously on the stage.

Tue T't. Wayne Sentinel says: “The Austrian Acrtic Exploring Expedition has proven beyond dispute, that the discovery of the North Pole is a practical impossibility, and it seems about time that t-hé nonsense and 'cost of life be stopped. Every expedition into those frozen regions has been a virtual failure. -~ Dr. Hall penetrated to withinless than eighteen degrees of the pole. The Austrian expedition approached to within the same distance. Neither found the open sea, or saw any evidences of the existence of such a body of water. There is no reason to believe, however, that the project so long indulged by navigators will be given up until further trials are made. Dr. Hayes, who discovered Grinnell’s land, and who lately visited Iceland as acorrespondent to the New York Herald, is put forward by that paper as the man who is able to solve the. problem, and the United States Government is urged to fit out an expedition for this purpose.”

- Now that the fire insurance companies have abandoned Chicago, as rats do a sinking ship, the newspapers of that city begin to praise the stability and fire proof character of her build- ‘ ings, qualities one never would.have dreamed they possessed had he depended for his knowledge upon the columns of the same p&}pers directly after one of the great fires. When the last fire had given the people a good, wholesome fight, says the Fort Wayne Sentinel, the papers found difficulty in expressing their deep and abiding contempt for a policy which permitted of the erection of buildirigs which were mere tinder boxes in disguise.— Now, when the New York companies have withdrawn and the eastern press cast ridicule upon Chicago. architecture, native prideis aroused, and we are given to understand that Chicago, as rebuilt, is as substantial as any other city in America.. : | State St:nthtics. The tables of statistics prepared at the office of the Auditor of State, gathered from the various counties, through the local authorities and appraisers, show that on the Ist of June, of this year, there were 115,484 less hogs than at the same time last year, ‘and 34,410 less number of sheep, in this State. These statistics further show th%g, on the Ist of June, 1874, there were 518,102 horses in the State, an increase over last year of 8,654; that there were 62,005 mules, an increase over last year of 7,608; and 1,275,265 head of cattle, being an increase of 64,019 over last year. = = =

No. 24,

: The “Key Note.” , : - The Indiana State Republican Central Committee, through their chairman, has issued a circular to all the republican editors of the State, and others in the secret, which among other things says: “I desire to call “your attention to the horrible scenes “of violence and bloodshed, transpir“ing throughout the South,”and sug“gest that you give them as great “prominence as possible in your paper “from this time till the election.” .

The Indianapolis - Journal, ‘before there was any trouble in Louisiana, notified its readers to.look out for trouble and outhreak in the South, and now that they have oecurred, the chairman of their State central committee urges the radical press to “give “them as great prominence as *‘p"o"ssi“Dble from this time till the eleétion.”

This, says the Miami county ‘Sentinel,discloses the programme and the “key-note.” - The old prejudice of the North - against the South must be aroused again, or the Republicans must give up the ghost. All that the party has to live upon is sectional hatred. It is the only “grip” left for that party.- The only wﬁy to draw the public attention from their villainies, their frauds and usurpations. So long as they can keep up the old hatred and division, they have hopes. Peace and harmony is their -death knell. Therefore, the Journal notified its friends to look out for it. = The carpet-baggers and sealawags of. the South, according|to programme, bro't it about, and now the party are endeavoring to make the most of it. : - —— 3 . Sloss’ Daughter. Ilast June the country was electrified by the intelligence that Congressman Sloss, of Alabama, on returning to his home after the adjournment of ‘Congress, perforated a young gentleman named Long who had been paying attention to Miss Sloss. = Sloss, it appears, not having had any gore for several months, took down his trusty shot-gun, and, happ,éning to see. Long passing by, just emptied both 'bar'relus into him for luck, o to get his hand in. Long, whose time for this world did not appéar to be long, has snapped his fingers at both surgeon and coroner, and ‘a- féw days since he eloped with Miss Sloss, and now they are one. It appears that. Mrs.. Sloss ‘kept the ‘girl under lock and key, but in'a Jucky moment the young lady got permission to go down stairs to “get a drink of water.” Mrs. Sless soon became alarmed, and picked up the first pair of navy revolvers she happened to stumble upon, and - sallied = forth. “‘Come back, come back,” she exied in grief, “my daughter, oh! my daugliter, if you don’t want to be filled uneomfortably full of lead.” And Mamie did come back, leading. a.blushing husband, and Mrs. Sloss did n’t give them -any blessing, nor did they wait for one.

“The State ticket,” says the Winamac | Democrat, “is deservedly populax with i‘} the Democrats in this eounty and-will undouf)tedly_ reéei—ve the full Democratic vote without a scrateh. Democrats are satisfied that it is important to carry out reforms to elect;every‘member mpon the State ticket. At present the State offices are filled with Radical incumbents, and although we have a Democratic Governor he is hampered by men in the State offices W;IO oppose:and mnteri_ally aid to defeat every measure looking to reform in the administration of the affairs of the State. Let the people put men in. the several State offices who will cooperate and work in h'm'nidny'with, a Democratic GGovernor, and we: will soon find a reduction of taxesand & cutting down of expenses which- will surprise every one. We know Ofl* Democrat in the county who intents to vote for any one exeept those nominated at the Democratic State Conwention.” - : i

The Democrat’s remarks apply admirably to our own county. ILetevery Democrat and Liberal makeé it his duty to secure ‘a majority for the ticket headed by John E. Neff.

QUEEN VICTORIA has come gallant1y to the rescue of her son Albert Edward, whose debts for a young man of small family had grown to ‘be overshadowing. The good Queen paid these debts cheerfully, after Mr. Gladstone had determined not to make an appeal to Parliament in behalf of the young spendthrift. For this plain duty, the Queen will probably receive abundant praise from the British journals. The frugality of the Queen is certainly commendable, if for no other reason than that in her ©old age, after amassing an immense fortune, she should have the wherewithal to liguidate the debts of her desolute progeny.

THE PRESIDENT'S VICTORY. : [From the New York Tribune.] °

- General Grant has vanquished the people of Louisiana again. He has telegraphed to his generals and his admirals; he has set the army and navy in motion; and the lawful government of Louisiana surrenders. If there was any doubt before as to the character of the usurpation which rules the unhappy State by favor of the President—any question whether the people really acquiesed in it—there can be none now. The outrage stands out henceforth in all its naked deformity, an unpardonable crime against popular- guffrage and the sovereignty of a State. A government which the people loathe and despise was forced upon Louisiana by the soldiers of the President. Left to themselves for a moment, the people threw ‘it off and installed the officers whom they had regularly chosen at the polls. The de- . posed intruders mademo fight; they ° were as helplessly and cowardly as children in the presence of the indignant people; but cowering behind the shutters of the custom house they telgraphed to the President{ “The peo“ple. have put usr out; this your job; “come you and put us back again.” Two years ago Grant yielded to the bad advice of his disreputable assoei-1 ates, and installed Kellogg at New Orleans by fraud and force, because he wanted the electoral vote of the State, which a majority of the voters had given to the othér side. That wicked deed has brought forth a full crop of crime. We have seen him’ dispersing a legislature at the point of the bayonet, expelling a'legitimate government with threats of martial law, and reversing the course of justice by fghe scandalous support of a perjuredcourt. His own friends have exclaimed at the iniquity of those proceedings, and warned him to desist. The hottest partisans of his administration have denounced the wicked usurpations of Kellogg and Durell with an indignation that does thenx credit. Seventeen republican Senators voted in February, 1873, to declare the pretended election null and void, and to turn him out of office. The President himself finally admitted in - a special message to Congress that so many forgeries and frauds had been discoyvered that he ywas not Sure of Kellogg’s title. An official investigation proved: the rascality of the whole transaction beyond anyv possibility of denial. But the President would not halt. 7 He must carry out his original -erime to its natural consequences, and the inexorable logic of events has led hin to this erowning shame, For the first time in the history of the United States the soldiers of the Union are employed to drive out a legitimate 'governor, and place a miserable pretender in the State House to shoot down ‘in the streets the people who refuse to obey him. For this disgraceful and disheartening spectacle the congress which refused to act on the Louisiana report, and the republican party. which tacitly approved the wrong, are both to blame; but it is upon the President that the chief re- - sponsibility must rest,—the President - ‘who Dbegan the long course of oppression—the President who ecould have . “stopped at any moment if he had chosen and could stop it now—the President who is probably the only man in America not ashamed of the . whole business, and who coies forward in the midst of it asking for a third teem.. = , Y

* Political Independence. i An interesting article in the last number of Old and New deals with the much agitated question of the independence of the voter, “party treason” and “civic duty.” The writer . takes the leaders of the dominant po- | litical parties to task for the military . discipline which they exercise over wvoters, and expresses his belief that theprincipal means of political reform is the assertion by every citizen of his absolute independence of his own party. He sums up the whole duty of the citizen something in this wise: i 1. Join yourself to that one of the two parties which seems to hold more nearly your views upon pressing questions than the other, and support its men and its measures. ; 2. In any case vote. The writer insists upon this as the citizen's highest duty, ‘whatever happens. o 3. Make apersonal serutiny of all candidates “as if upon you rested the ultimate responsibility for their election or reJe(;tlon.” - He * considers scratching a ticket one of the inalienable rights of every voter, and deprecates the practice, which he asserts in common, of the use at the polls ©f printed tickets, containing the nam:s of a party’s candidates, so arranged s to prevent alteration by any voter who thinks for himself. -~ . 4.
